S2E10 - It's The Boo-nited States of America And We're All Living In It
Friend of the podcast and now recurring guest Ben (@kicknyrgios) joins us to discuss the scene in Welsh-Ryan Arena for Northwestern-Illinois and Boo Buie's status as one of the best players in college basketball.

S2E9 - Terrance Shannon's Return for Illinois Adds To An Already Bleak Big Ten Season
It's the much awaited return of Tommy Crimes!
Things aren't getting any better for the Big Ten as Purdue, Wisconsin, and Illinois comfortably rest atop the conference while the rest of the teams struggle to survive on a night-to-night.
The biggest story in the league is Terrance Shannon's return to the Illinois lineup amid an ongoing investigation related to a rape charge in Kansas, which becomes a grosser story with each passing week. The pod shares their thoughts on the situation and the duty that those who cover college basketball have when discussing similar situations. It's frankly not a fun topic, but a necessary one as it has major implications on the Big Ten race.

S2E8 - Stephen Bordeaux, Dug McDaniel's Weird Suspension, and The Pursuit Of The Elusive Big Ten Road Win
Did your favorite Big Ten team play two games this week? Chances are, they lost the road game but won the home game. Despite a few upsets like Maryland's improbable win over Illinois and Nebraska's throttling of Purdue in Lincoln, it was more of the status quo as most of the league went .500 on the week.
Chris and Babar also break down Purdue's upcoming week of road tests, the teetering status of Illinois and Ohio State, and discuss the viability of a Big Ten broadcaster's alternate career as a sommelier.

S2E5 - The Big Ten Stinks In A Very Loud And Incredibly Smelly Way
God's conference continues to disappoint after another weekend of letdowns against marquee competition. Is it worth putting your faith in anyone other than Purdue? Probably not!
Also, could we be nearing the end of Juwan Howard's tenure at Michigan? And is he the only coach in the Mitten State that might be ready to call it quits?
